Friends Academy is an independent, non-profit day school, serving boys and girls from pre-k through grade eight. The school was founded by Quakers in 1810 and was first located on County Street and then on Morgan Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Although the school no longer offers Quaker education, it has retained its strong tradition of commitment to the importance of the individual child, a value that continues to be a central part of the Friends’ ethic.
